TO DIRECT PERUVIAN STATION

Professor Solon I. Bailey '88 of the College Observatory will sail today from New York for Peru to take charge of the University astronomical station at Arequipa. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Bailey and by Miss Annie J. Cannon of the Observatory staff.

The work of the Arequipa station, which has been somewhat reduced in scope in recent years, is expected to take on a new importance with the return of Professor Bailey, who played an important part in its establishment over thirty years ago and served for a long time as its director. He plans to spend the next two years in Peru. In addition to supervising the routine affairs of the station he will continue his studies of the globular star-clusters.
